About Embroidery Training Ltd

Paul began his commercial embroidery career in the early 1990s as a full-time digitiser. At that time, designs were created using a digitising tablet and puck, tracing enlarged paper artwork point by point rather than working directly on screen. Paper tape was still being produced for older embroidery machines.

That early experience created a thorough understanding of stitch structure and how a design must be built to run reliably in production. Paul later moved into full-time embroidery production and management, taking responsibility for both digitising and the everyday demands of running a busy embroidery department.

He subsequently joined the principal UK HappyJapan agent as Training and Technical Support Manager, travelling throughout the UK to install machines, train operators and solve production problems. This later developed into a regional sales and support role covering the Midlands and North West.

Throughout that journey, Paul has maintained a strong interest in technology and design, following embroidery software through every major stage of its development. Today, that experience supports his work with the latest Wilcom products, HappyJapan machines and commercial embroidery training.
